Sami is a high school in Tacoma District that works together with the zoo to teach kids. Sami stands for Science And Math Institude that teach the students about environmental science and many other intresting subjects. Some students struggle with adjusting to how this school works or even those that been here for years. This website will give you basic idea of what SAMI is and how it works.
If you have a car and can drive contact your mentor and ask for the special form about where to park your car or if you have any requirments you want taken care of ask your mentor.
Schedule
SAMI's calendar
SAMI 2021 schedule looks a little bit weird. It is hybrid between online learning and in-person school. Personally not a big fan of online learning but I'm happy to visit the park again and just see people again. The school divided students into 2 cohorts A and B, Cohort A go to school on Monday and Thursday while Cohort B goes on Tuesday and Friday. Everyone does mentor group on the computer on Wednesday. Point Defience park is really a beatiful place and really big, you can spent alot of time going from class to class and enjoy the nature.
